Help Britain by
Growing Vegetables

Britain has shipped a large pact
cf her precious meat reserves for
the purpose of aiding those who
are in dire distress. ‘The United
States and Canada, therefore, are
straining every effort to send all
the meat they can to Britain. We
can all help be eating less meat.
One of the best ways of making up
for some lack of meat is by con-
suming more vegetable. No fcod
with such high nutrients can. be
grown in such large quantities and |
with such little labor as vege-
tables. Farmers can easily grow
their own vegetables.

Social Evening

evening in honor of Miss Marion
Carrington, eldest daughter of Mr,
and Mrs, J. Carrington, whose
marriage took place May 2 to Mr.
Arthur Knudson, both of’Irma, was
held in the Lodgé Wall Monday
evening, May 30.

Rev. Mr. Longmire acted as
chairman for the short program
which consisted of two solos by
Pat Milne, accompanied at the pi-
ano by her sister, Miss Charlotte,
readings by Mrs. C. McLean, a
piano solo by Miss Audrey Jones,
and a solo by Miss Lois Longmire
accompanied by Mrs. Clarence
Carter. Mr. Black, assisted by
Miss Audrey Jones, conducted a
realistic “Share the Wealth” quiz.
Following the program little Dale
Fuder presented the bride-to-be
with a gaily decorated wagon
brimming over with lovely. and
useful gifts, and a host of good
wishes from the hall full of friends
and neighbors. Miss Carrington
and Mr. Knudson both expressed
their thanks most sincerely to all
the donors. :

The hostesses, Mrs. A. Knudson,
Mrs. Masson, Mrs. Arnold Mrs.
Halvorsen, Mrs. McLean, Mrs.
Locke and others served a deli-
cious lunch, and after singing ‘For
They are Jolly Godd Fellows,” and
“God Save the King,” a very plea-
sant time was brought to a close.

IRMA TIMES

CHURCHILL AND ROOSEVELT

It will be generally agreed that
the two most influential public

would be difficult and perhaps in-
vidious: to say which of the two
men wielded the greater influence
in the world at large through their
powers of speech. They were en:
tirely different in personality and
style of utterance. In person,
Churchill is romantic and fascir-
ating, and his style is racy, spark-
ling arid at time almost lyrically
poetic. He displays all the quali-
ties and some of the tri:ks of the
old-fashioned orator, plus the
Saige touch” and the progres-
Sive spirit.

Roosévelt was a plain man, with
a good: deal of the New England
Puritan, tempered by the milk of
human‘ kindness and not a little
of poljtica] astuteness. He was
plain, direct and matter-of-fact
in speech although on several cri-
tical oecasions he suddenly leapt
to dramatic heights and his speech
flashed like lightning and roared
like thindér. around the world.
Coming irom such a placid and
kindly man, those utterances were

all the more effective and influ-

ential. -Roosevelt Was first and last
a true American, but he was per-
haps the first American statesman
with a‘world-wide sympathy and
vision.

Churchill is heart and soul an
Englishman. He. had to be that in
those early days of the war when
England stood alone and defied the

military might of a triumphant and|school building .on the grounds

brutal énemy of mankind. It was
Churchill’s trumpet blast of ora-
tory that saved the British people
from the pit of despair and inspir-
ed them with fortitude and cour-
age to endure and fight in the face
of overwhelming odds. But his
speech not only gave strength and
courage to the people of Britain,
it, echoed

Canada's Food Supply

SHORTLY AFTER CANADA ENTERED the war, the people were
warned that they would be called upon to make many sacrifices, and that
one of these sacrifices would involve a general lowering of the standard
of living here. Since that time, labour shortages, the disappearance from
the market of many luxury items, and numerous other wartime scarcities
have touched almost every Canadian home, and there are few families
today who have not in some way been affected by these restrictions. While
spending power has been drastically curtailed in many ways, Canada's
buying power was three billion dollars higher last year than it was in 1939.
Since many of the normal channels of spending are now closed, ‘statistics
show that Canadians have been steadily increasing that percentage of their

income which they spend on food.

* . * * s

People Now More 1944, showed that in that period wholesale
grocers had sold twelve per cent. more gro-

tables than during the preceding year. Meat production in 1944 was the
highest in our history, and in the 1943-44 crop year Canadian: flour mills
produced thirteen and a half million barrels of flour, which was also an
unprecedented figure. In the case of both wheat and flour, much is exported,
but there has been a steady increase in the domestic demand for both
these products.

fed than they were in the pre-war years, and this will, undoubtedly, favour-
ably affect the standard of national health.

There has been some discussion lately concerning the

the less fortunately situated people of other countries.

conditions made this possible. Canadian farmers have ,dcne a magnificent

task of not only maintaining but of increasing production in spite of serious |

handicaps in the way of labour shortages and scarcity of equipment. The
people as a whole have cheerfully accepted such fcod rationing as has been
necessary, and are fully aware that rationing and shortages of some sup-
plies will in all probability continue long after hostilities cease. Canada,
the United Kingdom and the United States have worked together on the

in liberated countries, food distribution will be carried out on an increasing
scale, and Canada will no doubt play an important part in the effort to set
up and maintain a high ‘standard of nutrition throughout the world.

|THE IGLOO—

“The Igloo’ came up each day
with the rations. To the men -.who
took part in the Eskimo Scheme re-
'cently completed in Northern Sas-
katchewan, it was as welcome as
food, and being neither in‘edible nor
in liquid form that might have been |
surprising. ‘The Igloo’ was a news|
sheet, written from base head-
quarters in Prince Albert and sent
out each day to the men “on
scheme”. Its purpose was chiefly in-
formative, to keep the “Eskimos” in
the know on world events, on activi-
ties around the base headquarters and
/on what their current ‘‘Eskimo-ess”
among the CWACs was doing to keep |
herself occupied in their absence. |
|Lt. M. O. D. Logan, St. John, N.B.,
| was editor-in-chief of the publication. |
| Two other CWACs employed on the |
editcrial staff were Pte. N. M. Cobbe,
Limerick, Sask., and Pte. Doris At~'
wood, Calgary. Meant mainly as a
link between the men out on scheme
and the base, ‘The Igloo” was defin-
itely as welcome as the rations with
which it arrived. To the CWACs it
was their contribution to the “morale
department”. Unable to take an)
active part in the Eskimo scheme it- |
\self, they enjoyed the morale-boosting |
opportunity their daily ‘news sheet}
gave them. ;

Have No Rank
Chaplains . In Navy Equal To Man
They Talk With

W. L. Clark, in the Windsor Star,
Chaplains in the Navy have
no rank and wear no rank badges.
The padres are in naval: uniforms and
the cut of the clothes resembles the
garb of a naval officer.

The idea of having no rank is that
a naval chaplain always’ ranks
equally with the man to whom he is
talking. If the padre is with an
admiral, then he ranks with the ad~
miral; and, if the padre is with a
rating, he ranks with the rating.

This plan of the .Navy saves the
men in the ranks the embarrass-
ment that comes from talking to a
commissioned officer. In the Air
Force or the Army, it is sometimes
necessary to have a non-commissioned
officer act as an intermediary before
a private can talk to God’s repre-
sentative. It may seem silly to be
uninitiated, but some of the chap-
lains with commissioned rank are as
snooty as a second lieutenant who
has just put up his one pip.

Some day, perhaps, the Army and
Air Force will follow the example of
the Senior Service and have the chap-
lains rank with all, no matter whether
it be the lowest or highest.

TUBERCULOSIS OF THE BOVINE
TYPE AND UNDULANT FEVER

Pecouiceis of childhood, except- |
ing the pulmonary type, is caused by
contaminated milk. A careful survey
of 352 tuberculosis children in one
United States city showed that 25
|per cent. suffered from the bovine
| type. The source of infection in these
cases was raw (unpasteurized) milk.

Some years after the introduction
of compulsory milk pasteurization in
Toronto, a survey revealed that the
only children in hospital suffering
from tuberculosis of the bovine type
were from outside the city.

Most favored body points for tuber-
culous germs from raw milk are the
lymph gland of the intestines and the
neck and_ bones.
bones and joints causes many crip-
pling deformities.

A common disease in cattle is in-|~

fectious abortion from germs called |
brucella. Gcats, pigs and cows can)

rarely attack children but which|
cause undulant fever in adults. |

Undulant fever is contracted by |
drinking raw milk from diseased cows
or through contact with infected ani- |
mals or by handling infected meat.
It also may be spread through cheese,
butter and buttermilk. There are |
three strains of brucella ‘with. the one
of pig origin the most virulent. When
undulant fever causes death, this
strain is. generally to blame. Un-
dulant fever derived from cow’s milk
is the mildest and death rarely occurs |
from this type.

However, cows sometimes are in-|
fected with a virulent strain that!
originated elsewhere and this strain |
has been found in cow's milk.

Attention should be drawn to a

Peter Thompson McClintock, a pupil
at the preparatory school near Exeter
where a fire, involving four fatalities,
took place last month. Young Mc-
Clintock, who was aged eleven and
had been at the school just four days
when the fire occurred, jumped from
a roof on to some mattresses in his
pyjamas. He then set off to call the
fire brigade. No one told him to go
(so he stated at the inquest on
Monday), he just thought it would
be a good idea. It was blowing a
gale and snowing hard, but even in
pyjamas .he kept warm by running
(vires acquisit eundo). The first
house he stopped at had no telephone,
so he went on to the next building he
saw. That turned out to be the fire-
station, so his work was done.—Lon-
